This isn't so much a general nakama recruitment thread, but more so a thread regarding if Luffy will even get a 10th Senior Officer in the first place, seeing as how Luffy has 9 of them at this point. I feel it's valid to ask in light of Oda mentioning in his interview with Gosho Aoyama about "Luffy's crew of ten" and it being figured that it's too late to meaningfully have anyone else be part of the Straw Hats.
It's also figured that any future Straw Hats would just appear in the epilogue, but with Blackbeard having 10 Titanic Captains, and going by what Oda said, I don't get the impression that 11 Straw Hat Pirates vs. 11 Blackbeard Pirates would just be something that happens in the epilogue. I also don't get the impression that having a rounded out 11 vs. 11 is something Oda would want to pass up either, but what do you guys think?
